Doc’n Roll Film Festival returns to London this autumn for its 13th edition, bringing another exciting selection of music documentaries to cinemas across the city from 22 October to 8 November. Fiercely independent and rooted in a DIY spirit, Doc’n Roll celebrates the artists, outsiders, scenes and stories that shape music culture, spanning genres, generations and musical movements from around the world.

WOLF Tilda Swinton guides us through the life of British musician Patrick Wolf, weaving together archive and animation to illuminate a singular artistic journey.

Narrated with warmth and intimacy by longtime friend Tilda Swinton, Wolf traces the extraordinary journey of one of Britain’s most distinctive musical voices. From the early promise of a fiercely original teenage talent and the dizzying heights of success to a painful unravelling and eventual return to music, the film offers a deeply personal portrait of an uncompromising artist. Blending rich archival material with evocative animation, it brings Wolf’s interior world vividly to life, exploring creativity, vulnerability and resilience while making a compelling case for his enduring importance as a singular figure in British music.

Stay around post-screening for a Q&A with director Christian Cargill.

Film runtime: 88 minutes
